Web-based question-answering (QA) system

In this technological world, there are many useful resources over the Internet such as Questions-Answering (QA) systems to help users with all kind of questions. Some of the systems are Math StackExchange[1], AnswerHub[2] and AskBot[3]. In this research, the proposed QA system was to explore and ev...
